When I decided to get a boiler system I wasn’t sure if I wanted a hot water boiler or a steam boiler.
I found online a boiler rental company that allows you to test out their boiler systems.
I thought that was just amazing. I could have a temporary boiler, just pay a small fee each month. That sounded way more appealing than putting a ton of money down on a heating system that I may not like. I was willing to spend a little bit on a rental fee to discover if steam or hot water is better. I also liked that the portable boiler company was willing to bring the machine, set up and would change it to a new model easily. They also offered to handle any repairs and maintenance free of charge on the system. It is a full service they offer. When I called the boiler rental company I realized quickly my mistake. The woman wanted to know what the purpose of the boiler was. She kept asking what line of work I was in. At first I wondered how my job factored into my needs for heating. I then realized that it was a commercial boiler rental company I was calling. They loan out boiler systems for chemical plants, drug companies and other businesses. Residential boiler systems don’t allow you to rent. You just have to buy from a HVAC company and hope everything goes okay. I was a bit bummed out when I found that. I then had to do more boiler research.
